Background:
Scott Tinley, a native Californian, is an accomplished teacher, author, and athlete. He teaches Sports MBA graduate students, undergraduate English students, and Junior Lifeguards. He has authored several books, including Racing the Sunset, a personal and in-depth study of Athlete Retirement. Just recently, Scott founded the Institute for Athletes in Retirement and Transition (IART) at San Diego State University and continues to conduct research on the subject. Scott is also a member of the Ironman Hall of Fame, a two-time Ironman World Champion, and has competed professionally in over 400 triathlons. Although professionally retired since 1999, Scott still competes and has found a new passion in paddleboard racing.

Scott also was a founding partner and VP of Marketing in the highly successful business venture, Scott Tinley Performancewear, which he sold to Reebok in 1992.

When he's not teaching, writing, or competing, you can find Scott in a lifeguard tower just a short bike ride from his home in Del Mar or surfing near his ranch house north of Santa Barbara. Scott also enjoys fine art and photography, playing guitar, a good bottle of wine, and spending time with his family and friends.
